Interesting combination of a time exposure and action stopped by the flash. You can try a similar effect for a self-portrait by holding the camera at arm's length, using the self-timer and twirling around with the flash exposing you as the subject. You will be sharp and clear but the background, illuminated by ambient room light, will be a blur. Be careful and don't get too dizzy trying this. 8-) You could have also tried zooming as you took the picture since you were using a slow shuter speed. Why were you using the red-eye reduction mode on this shot?
